All states, including Tamil Nadu, have accepted National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) for admission to Indian medicine and Siddha courses, Union minister of state for Ayush Shripad Yesso Naik announced on Wednesday.
The Union health ministry had made NEET mandatory for candidates wishing to pursue Indian medicine, just like medical or dental courses. “This exam is important to check quality of students even at the entry level. No state has opposed it, orally or in writing,” Naik said. Although some states moved courts seeking exemption, pleas have been rejected.
In February, the ministry advised all states to ensure wider publicity for NEET advising aspiring doctors to write and clear NEET 2018 scheduled for May 6.
“We have also written to states asking them to consider NEET as sole merit test for admissions to all Ayush courses,” he said.
The ministry, he said, is working on several education reforms to improve quality of education with a hope that it will encourage more people to opt for Ayush.
